    Well, if any of you had read the course text on this subject, 'The Zombie Survival Guide' by Max Brooks, you would know that firearms are useful but very problematic in zombie combat. Keep in mind that a single shot to the head will kill one Zombie but the sound will carry and attract hundreds more. Ideal equipment to deal with Zombies includes a crowbar (for close range work), a bike (a near silent method of escape that will propel you faster than any infected Zombie), a bow and arrow (a silent method of killing those who do try to approach) and some sort of safe house with sufficient supplies of food to either last until 'victory' in World War Z or to plan an escape.

    As for my plan, well, I have my 'zombie war survival kit' permanantly packed, simply need to strap Jimmy (the crow bar) to the side of my rucksack and withdraw to my 'safe house' which in this case is the TA barracks down the road, it has a sturdy gate which will hold the hoards back until we have moved all the food (of which there is a lot), weapons and ammo to the top floor. It also has plenty of transport in a secure building and it is possible to escape the top floor and travel several miles only using rooves.

    For more information on the Zombie war and how to survive future Zombie conflicts take a look at 'The Zombie Survival Guide' and 'World War Z' by Max Brooks:

    Zombies? I thought we were supposed to be preparing for the imminent Werewolf/Vampire attack! I've been stacking up on silver-tip bullets!

    Nuts!

    I'd go to the Bass Pro Shop and get a lot of mosquito netting and other supplies, including tons of ammo, and a shotgun, before heading off into the Swamp. Would be extremely difficult for Zombies to travel in the swamp, and since its not populated by people, they really wouldn't go there. If they do, theirs gators and a 'Swamp Thing' that would get them.

    Plenty of Hog, Deer, and Gator for me to hunt and feed off of, plus i'd make a nice tree home to keep the Mozzies away and to keep out of reach of any stray zombies. Plus, the heat and humidity of the swamp would decay their flesh much more rapidly, killing them much faster then in colder climates.

    Actually predators don't eat Zombies as something about the flesh puts them off. They also travel relatively well through swamps, they simply take longer. Beware of using your rifle to hunt, the shots attract Zombies like crazy.

    I think you have all the angles covered Mussolini but did you remember to cancel the daily papers. Honestly I would not have thought of a fraction of your plan. We are short on gators in the UK and the Police have taken nearly all our guns away.
    My money is on Zombie UK.

    I'll make sure to break into a Nuclear Missle silo and send some your way, to make an Atomic Island free of Zombies...and all other life. First target city would be Liverpool of course...wait, if we do it right, we'd stop the Zombies dead in their tracks if we hit Liverpool first!

    Shots fired in the Swamp are hard to locate, and it would be very tricky and noisy for a Zombie to walk around in a swamp. Hell, I have a hard enough time walking in a swamp and I am much more coordinated then a Zombie! Besides, with no population in or really near swamps, Zombies wouldn't head towards such areas, especially with all the little kiddie brains to eat at Disney!

    If these guys show up, I think I'm heading to Montana. Plenty of space and Clint has weapons.

    Thats why my crew of english speaking uber ninjas all have silenced weapos and throwing stars. IN my "ATL" I have developed silencers for the most popular shotgun sizes.

    "World War Z" is also very cleverly written. I highly suggest reading it too.

    All perfect for Home defense[/QUOTE]
    Ever shot one of those? It is NOT good for home defense. It's really not good for anything other than ensuring to your friends you had 6000 to waste and you enjoy 10 dollar bullets!

    Yes, I have all, except the A12 and you need to understand the difference between a tactical assessment of weapons and a fun spirited joke(All perfect for home defense....a line from Terminator).

    It should be noted I regulary waste(as you call it) money on a variety of caliber bullets.....:D
